    • RE: [Plugin] Components manager plugin

      Inteloide,

      For me undo is working badly again, this time it says undo BGSketchup instead of undo EDIT Properties.

      Besides that, if I do a push pull I can't define a distance I have to get a reference point.

      I have to disable plugin and restart SU for undo or pushpull to work.

      Best regards,

      JQL

      Guys manipulate your windows the way it wants to manipulate you. You can also do this on macs.

      Sorry for Portuguese control panel, it happens I was born in a comma/dot+comma world.

      Don't delete the face, hide it with the edges! You'll be able to push-pull it later and, if you remove every inner faces and edges, you'll still get a solid.

    • RE: How are things in YOUR country?

      Mike,

      The political election system is really in decay, but we have so much to adress to right now, that we can't see that this is really at the bottom of things.

      What happened in Portugal was really a matter that was in the hands of those "elected few". People are now paying for bad management, bad political decisions, corruption, waste, and so on...

      A person or organization with 5 years of (sometimes absolutistic) power is really too much responsability for being on the loose.

      That's why we are talking more and more of democracy of participation. I didn't know that was like that in Greece, but what I do know is that we must have a system where more decisions must be transparent and being taken by people to whom they matter, and not top down.

      There is an absolute need right now of political education of the people. People should be held responsible for much more than just voting. They should participate politicaly as much as they know how to drive or wash they're teeth everyday.

      For me, some religious habits that are being lost, like praying before going to bed, should be compensated with some habits of political thinking taking matter in hands.

      Me, as a father, should ask my kids at night, before they go to bed, what have you made to change something today?

    • RE: How are things in YOUR country?

      (I edited this sorry for submiting it before I didn't intended)

      My view is totally different. Nowadays there is a less visible EU, as Germany has no counterpower inside EU. It's the only economy still standing after the crysis and as it doesn't want to devalorize itself, Germany keeps pushing Euro around to their own will as the Central European Bank is dependent on Germany to have sustainability.

      So, nowadays EU is based, more than ever in economy and finance and that makes Germany the lead player.

      However EU has grown as much as a social union of countries, as an economic union. The Euro currency and freedom of travel within EU made us share much more than just cash and goods. It made us have a lot of common experiences, it made us grow as a community and we feel strongly tied to each other. I never seen a moment in history where Europe has been like this except today (and probably on the Roman empire).

      This contributes greatly to social stability and share of ideas within EU and every country in EU has the notion that this is of utmost importance... However if we think of EU only in economic terms, we can throw it all down.

      If we can handle Germany rightful desire to keep being a strong economy, and if we can also have something to say in term of European Economy in our European Economic Union, and if Germany can respect the fact that this social and multicultural community contributes to peace and to the right environment for economic growth (their own too), then I think EU will find themselves in the right position to face 50 more years.

      I'm conscious to the fact that my country was in need of what's happening now economically and politically speaking. Though I feel terrible for a lot of people's situation in this very moment, wich is dramatic and ultimately unfair.We need to refurbish our way of dealing with work and production. We need that as a country but we never felt that need before as much as nowadays.

      However, I feel we are growing now but at the cost of a lot of misery. Germany will have to grow too, be sensible to this and allow for social support on our countries. Without it, without this "wasted money" we can have no social stability here, therefore there will be no social stability in our countries, nor in Europe. I believe Germany is being more and more sensible to this too, as they also have this social situation inside, with a lot of people from eastern germany, not being able to be as productive or socially integrated as people in the western cities.

      If countries from EU, UK included, work on this together - economic growth in pair with social stability and equality, I think EU will stand and come out stronger than before.

      My final thought would be crysis are the engine of society.

      Well in here at least, we still got one of the best medical services in europe, provided by the state. Of course, EU wants to make it private too... So with a minimum wage of 450€ people will probably still have to pay for health insurances if Germany get's it's way.

      Of course, the biggest health insurance companies in Portugal are foreign and two of the biggest, German.

      If it's not Petro dollar is any kind of dollar

    • RE: How are things in YOUR country?

      Hi Mike,

      Here in Portugal, structural unemployement (people who are now unemployed and have no qualification to answer for contemporary job demands) is 11,5%.

      This means that not counting young people unemployment, not counting circunstancial, unemployment related to financial and economic situation, there is at least 11,5% people that will not be able to work again.

      The other numbers go up and down depending on who's giving the news but they are officially getting lower and are now in 15,5%.

      This is happening because most qualified young people are getting away from the country, contributing with they're skills for the development of other countries. The only country in europe where this is worst than Portugal is... Ireland.

      A long way to walk for a towel and the toilets are tiny and very high up. 😉

      But very nice image nonetheless.

      It's not long to walk if you look good and you have a mirror on the way, wich is the case.

      I think correct order would be. Shower, white T-Shirt hanger, mirror, towel, bedroom... That's why people love architecture!

      For those of you in the US who might be shocked by coloured pixels I've made one you can look at without risk.

      I think your version is much more adult related content than the rest, that moving rectangle is much more suggestive than natural nudity... I like this one better!

      They claim it's "3D to everyone" so why not for you?

      The thing is you should really understand what this guys are trying to tell you because it's all you require after some practice.

    • RE: Exporting 'clean' drawings to LayOut 3.

      Here you go, mess around with front color in styles. With shadow settings on light and shadow colors. With fog distance and color. Make background disabled in Layout.

      Don't bother with model, consider it shreded right away.
